Command Analysis
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Nishioka played well overall at the tournament in Brisbane last week. In that competition, the Japanese player managed to overcome the qualification and the starting round, but in the second round he lost to Jiri Lehecka, the eventual winner of the tournament. Last season, Yoshihito had 15 wins and 15 losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Nishioka is a typical baseliner with an emphasis on technique and ball control. The Japanese player left-handed forehand has good topspin and allows him to effectively move opponents around the court. However, Yoshihito lacks power in his shots, which makes it difficult for him to compete against different opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka is ranked 69th in the world. The 29-year-old Japanese player has positive statistics at the end of last season - 29 wins and 14 losses. Last year, let us recall, Yoshihito won the title in Atlanta - in the final, he beat Jordan Thompson. For Nishioka, this was the third ATP title.
Interesting facts for betting
Nishioka won three out of four matches at the start of the season.
Thanasi Kokkinakis
AustraliaCurrent form
Kokkinakis has not played yet in the new season, but it is worth noting that the Australian played three matches in December as part of the exhibition competition Ultimate Tennis Showdown. There he beat Andrey Rublev and lost to Ugo Humbert and Gael Monfils. Last year on open hard courts, Thanasi won 20 matches and lost 14.
Professional qualities
Kokkinakis is a tennis player with a pronounced emphasis on serve and forehand. The Australian performs these two elements at a high level, and they often bring him victories. However, beyond these components, his arsenal looks more modest. Potentially, Thanasi could achieve more if he paid attention to developing other aspects of his game.
Current indicators in the tour
Kokkinakis is ranked 77th in the world. Thanasi won two trophies last year. He successfully won back at the Challenger held in Sarasota. At this tournament, he beat Zizou Bergs in the final. And in November, the 28-year-old Australian won the home competition in Sydney, in the final of which he beat Rinki Hijikata. In total, Kokkinakis has won nine trophies in his career so far.
Interesting facts for betting
Kokkinakis has won eight of his last nine official matches.
